Why does it mean to have thick blood?

There are a number of reasons why another individuals blood may be thick and even possible darker red. Some people have to take drugs such as a common drug to help this problem: blood thinners. They can (if not dosed properly) be a very dangerous drug to consume. First of all, it depends on how much blood your red blood cells are producing for your body. If the red blood cells are producing too much blood, of course naturally your blood will be thicker. Also another reason that is linked to why people take blood thinners is because they may have a medical condition (It may be serious and it may not be). Thickened blood hinders the circulation of oxygen, nutrients, and hormones and prevents them from being transferred successfully to tissues and cells throughout the body.
